Bodega DiamAndes de Uco Viognier 2021
Another stunner from DiamAndes, this Viognier has a wonderfully expressive nose of stone fruits and flowers, with a juicy, waxy palate that puts one in the mind of the Rhone. A superb example of Argentine Viognier! In the heart of Clos de los Siete, Bodega DiamAndes stands as a winemaking haven, producing wines that resonate with intensity and finesse from their beautiful vineyards high up in Argentina's Uco Valley. Set up in 2005 by the esteemed Bonnie Family (the famous name behind Malartic Lagraviere & Gazin Rocquencourt), this is another very successful project from an established Bordeaux dynasty. A truly exceptional example of what Viognier can achieve in Argentina. Lovely floral notes combine with soft peaches and a hint of tropical fruits, still fresh but with a well rounded body and luxuriously long finish. Will Hill, Wine Guru
Villa Sparina, Gavi Di Gavi 2025
The Gavi di Gavi DOCG was first produced in 1974 and is closely tied with the historic identity of Villa Sparina. Made from 100% Cortese, from vines averaging over 30 years old, the wine displays a unique expression the terroir in its purity and focus. With honeysuckle and yellow pears on the nose and a steely minerality on the palate, it is easily comparable to a Chablis (on a vespa). The Villa Sparina family estate can be found in Monterotondo, in the Gavi DOCG district of Piedmont. Overseen by the Moccagatta family since the 1970s, Villa Sparina specialise in the production of local grape varieties Cortese and Barbera with over 70% of their 100 hectares dedicated to these grapes. The striking amphora-shaped bottle was inspired by an ancient Roman relic excavated from the property during a period of restoration. It has become a symbol for the estate: “ elegant but strong, modern but with an ancient touch ”. "Expect nothing less than class and precision from Villa Sparina. Purity and focus here with a light fresh touch. However the concentration also shines through in the long finish. There is a beautiful balance of soft stone fruit and yellow citrus. A floral essence provides further complexity. Perfect aperitif or pair with shellfish and crustacea." Our note
